Mestre, a few kilometers from Venice<\/em>:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To save money on your hotel, Captain Ulysses recommends staying in the town of Mestre<\/strong>. Hotels in Mestre are generally significantly cheaper than those in Venice. Mestre is located on the continent, facing Venice, so you can easily get there by bus or by boat (a bridge connects the two cities). Mestre also has the advantage of being quieter and less touristy than Venice: a plus if you prefer to avoid the crowds.
